Megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
has
revealed
how
he
once
went
missing
on
a
crowded
railway
station
thanks
to
his
fascination
for
trains.
The
71-year-old
actors,
who
is
the
son
of
noted
poet
Harivansh
Rai
Bachchan
and
Teji
Bachchan,
reminisced
the
journey
he
used
to
undertake
from
Allahabad
to
Karachi
to
meet
his
grand
parents.
Bachchan
was
two-year-old
when
the
incident
took
place.
"I
think
the
train
journey
would
take
two
days
then
from
Allahabad
to
Karachi,
where
my
Grandfather,
a
Bar-at-Law
from
England
in
the
early
1900's
was
living.
On
returning
from
there,
the
station
where
our
train
had
to
change,
in
the
rush
of
the
crowd
and
the
passengers,
suddenly
my
mother
discovered
that
I
was
not
with
my
father,
whose
hand
I
was
supposed
to
be
holding.
"Panic!
My
parents
ran
all
across
the
platform
screaming
my
name
asking
if
anyone
hasd
seen
a
two-year-old...
After
some
endless
waiting
and
desperation,
a
passenger
came
by
and
said
he
had
seen
a
boy
standing
on
the
over
bridge
that
connected
one
platform
with
another
and
below
which
all
the
trains
tracks
would
pass," Bachchan
posted
on
his
blog.
"Rushing
to
the
site,
my
parents
found
me
happily
sitting
on
the
floor
of
the
bridge,
my
rather
long
legs
even
at
that
age,
dangling
off
the
railing,
watching
intensely
the
trains
passing
by,"
he
added.
The
Bhoothnath
Returns
star
said
he
still
watches
them
but
now
those
moments
take
him
to
his
childhood
days.
"I
still
watch
them...
And
perhaps
with
not
so
much
intensity,
as
nostalgia...,"
Bachchan
said
and
posted
a
picture
of
him
watching
a
train
from
a
rooftop.
